Hi,

I have decided to get a sound system for my r34, and am in need of a few questions to be answered.

I have decided to get a full alpine setup:

INA-W900E (Headunit)

SPX-17 PRO (Front speakers)

SPR-17C (Rear speakers)

PDX-1.1000 (Amp for sub)

PDX-4.150 (Amp for speakers)

The first question is will the front speakers fit into the door without mods, and will the rears fit without mods?

The second is, will having rear speakers have much difference with this setup, or should I just stay with the stock ones?

The third question is should I get one sub or two?

And finally, when I have the aforementioned sub, will I need the two amps mentioned or just run everything on the 4 channel amp?

Thanks guys,

Jacob

having better that stock speakers in the back will deffinately enhance your sound quality.. run all your in car speakers of the 4 channel amp.. you will need a seperate amp for sub(s) as the 4 channel amp wont have the required LPF and you will destroy them.. also one amp will do fine for 2 subs but your best bet is just buy one decent sub an still have boot space.. i made 142Db with one 12' sub and a 800wrms amp.. not running at max levels either

this is something to consider to save some dosh, alpines offer on type x

alpine au

and yes if installed by a pro it will fit, they need mdf mounts to be solid in the doors

a little dynamat type soundeadner would be advised at least in the doors

ditch the stock speakers in all cases

run the 4 channel to the 4 inside

mono block to subs

enjoy

Hi Jacob,

I used to work in the Car Audio Industry, try Ang's Audio Shop in Klemzig http://www.angs.com.au/ . He is an Alpine dealer and will be able to help you out. You should be able to find all of those products in your vehicle. Its also best to get custom MDF baffle made for the speakers in the front rather than the standard plastic ones as you have much clearing mid base as well as improved sealing the speaker enclosure (inner door).

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
